Electrolytes are essential for basic life functioning such as maintaining electrical neutrality in the cells, generation, and conduction of action potentials in the nerves and muscles. Sodium, potassium, and chloride are the significant electrolytes along with magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and
Porphyrias, particularly acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), are rare disorders which could be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
